Work has continued on the “Propeller Design Library” while I continue to travel. I’m anxious to get home and print one of these.

I just committed a bunch of improvements to the code. I think the use of Blender for the GUI might be a little complicated. I’ll probably work on an independent GUI application when time allows.

When I get back home I’m going to finish the “OpenRC Swift” which is nearing a flyable V1.0 state.

Awesome work @Andre_Roy , are you going to publish this? I’m curious to see how this would come out!

The code is published under the GNU Affero GPL. I’m developing in public in hopes of generating interest from other developers.

If you or anyone wants, tell me what type of prop (like 9x6) you want to test, and I’ll generate an STL for you. Also include the shaft diameter.

I’m an RC enthusiast and have future plans to develop a 3d printer airplane, been following your posts here about that project and really like how things are starting to look! So, I have no urgent need for the propellers but my father is doing a non-flying airplane model and he requested me some propellers, so that’s why I’m interested, but since this will be a “decorative” model my feedback at this moment would be basic … nevertheless, I would still give it a try :wink:

OK, feel free to try your hand with the code: https://github.com/CircuitGrove/DuctedFanDesignLibrary (early dev state)

A warning is that its use requires some expertise with Blender.

But if you give me the prop diameter, number of blades and axle diameter you need, I’ll be happy to generate an STL for you.

Thanks André,

I will give this 6x4.stl propeller a try!

Kind regards.

no problem, I took off the link from here, but let me know if you lost it.

I got the link, thanks! Will share my results! By the way, awesome work with your rc airplane! Keep up the good work!
